You said "stuff" twice in your posting, so you're going to have to clean it out and provide what is necessary, possibly hire a staging company to assist since you are a realtor and must know of one.2. 

simply hire a plane and put the offer on an aerial banner.. to be flown over the sellers home.document it.. 

Hire a cleaner to clean the house, they split the cost like its a utility or lawn service. 

If you want to scale and build a business, hire out the inspection and get the next deal started. 

Which leads to my second point: here is a recipe for crashing and burning that everyone should be familiar with because it happened repeatedly in '08-'10. 1) Buy houses with 15% down in neighborhoods that have a lot of competition for rentals and would face downward pressure on rents in a bad economy; 2) hire property managers for about 10% of the take because the houses are more than you can handle personally, 3) make sure the cash flow is below $400 a month, and preferably right around $0; 4) have few assets in the bank or liquid; 5) wait for an economic crisis.Point being, you can be on too fast a track such that when the music stops, you have no place to sit.

My guess is the 190K bid is hiring cheaper labor but who knows.

We are in the process of finding our first flip deal, and we were wondering if it is necessary to hire someone to manage the vendors.

Hi hired a local auction bidder.

Hi Patrick, You ask some interesting questions.Yes, your mortgage company is going to hire their appraisal company to value the house so they make sure it is not being over appraised.
